2023 Virna Borgogno 'Il' Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy

The 2023 Virna Borgogno “Il” Langhe Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy is a finely tuned expression of Nebbiolo made by the historic Borgogno family, who farm vineyards sustainably in the Langhe hills with an emphasis on healthy soils and precise, gentle winemaking. This wine is 100 % Nebbiolo, vinified with native yeasts and matured in a mix of oak and neutral vessels to preserve fruit clarity, vibrant acidity and delicate structure.

On the nose it shows lifted aromas of wild red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, dried herbs and a hint of spice. The palate is medium‑bodied with bright acidity, silky tannins and pure red fruit flavors framed by subtle earth and floral nuances, leading to a refined, lingering finish.

This Langhe Nebbiolo pairs beautifully with dishes like mushroom risotto, roast pork with herbs, chicken under a brick, veal osso buco, or soft and semi‑aged cheeses, and it’s elegant enough to enjoy on its own as well.
